We feature a few different olive oils because, like wine, all olive oils are not the same. They differ in taste and body and even in the types of olives used to create the oil. Some are blends of many varietals of olives, some use just one varietal of olive (monovarietal). Each has their own use in our kitchens, just like sometimes you need a burgundy and other times a rhone wine. Find your favorite uses for each one, and even try them side by side as a taste test with your friends!

We only use extra virgin olive oils in our kitchen, so only offer extra virgin olive oils to you. The term "extra" is the highest grade, and you thus know you have the best. To be graded "extra" it must have less than 1% free oleic acid, and must exhibit superior taste, color and aroma. Some of our olive oils are organic, and even D.O.P., giving them an extra, and important, distinction. The difference, of course, is in the taste and we invite you to try these to experience the difference these olive oils can make in your recipes.

J. Leblanc has changed little since 1878, the year it was founded. It is still run by a Leblanc, Jean-Charles, grandson of the founder. It is still located in the southern most village of Burgundy, Iguerande, and it still manufactures the highest quality, small-batch, handcrafted nut oils in France.... if not the world.

J. Leblanc starts with the careful selection of the absolute highest quality whole nuts available, grown on many of the same farms that J. Leblanc has been doing business with for generations. For each batch of oil about fifty-four pounds of nuts are ground into a paste using the huilerie's original granite mill. In order to guarantee an even roast, this paste is constantly stirred in a roaster for 10 minutes. The roasted paste is then transferred to a mechanical press where it is divided in half and separated with filter cloth. The oil is expressed at 22,000 pounds of mechanical pressure. After pressing, the oil rests from seven-to-fourteen days to allow the sediment to settle before bottling. This is a labor, and time, intensive process which produces only 300 liters a day. These nut oils are pure, unadulterated, unfiltered, and unrefined.

J. Leblanc nut oils are made to order.

One of the most important facts about Huilerie Leblanc's production is not the "how" but the "when". Since Huilerie Leblanc has no large storage facilities, or refining capabilities, production takes place when orders come in - guaranteeing the freshest nut oils delivered to your door. It's not only a difference you can taste - in their clean, bright, and deep flavors, but also extends their longevity by up to a year.

In the United States, J. Leblanc is finding its way to renowned restaurants like The French Laundry, Mandalay Bay, Delfina, Campanelli, One Market, 231 Ellis, and Hawthorn Lane to name a few!

Nut oils can be used for salad dressings with quality vinegar such as champagne, Banyuls, sherry, or raspberry. The usual ratio is three parts oil to one part vinegar.

We are so proud to be able to offer you our own branded extra virgin olive oil. Our goal was simple, to find an amazing extra virgin olive oil from Italy for daily use. We asked for it to be full bodied and delicious. We also asked for a price point below $20.

The wonderful people at Trampetti came through with their leccino/frantoio olive blend. They continued to meet the highest standards, as one would expect from Trampetti, and meet our goals as well.

The Trampetti farm is located in the prestigious Assisi-Spoleto hills of Umbria’s “gold coast” olive zone. There Massimo Sisani, third-generation descendant of Eugenio Trampetti, and Federico Bibi, Umbrian agricultural specialist, dedicate themselves to the production of one of the finest organic extra virgin olive oils in Italy. Same day, state-of-the-art mechanical (vs.chemical extraction which is inferior) processing of early hand picked olives results in an extra virgin olive oil with intense yet harmonious palate.

Trampetti’s high polyphenol levels (indicating quality of fruit) and low free oleic acidity levels (indicating freshness) have perennially put it at the top of all Italian extra virgin oils.

Produced and bottled by Trampetti with olives grown, harvested, and pressed at the Trampetti Estate in Italy.

Olivar de la Luna Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from 100% Nevadillo Blanco olives that are indigenous to Sierra de Cordoba in the northern regions of Andalucia, Spain. Through the production of this high quality organic extra virgin olive oil, Olivar de la Luna is able to protect their local environment and agricultural traditions.

Olivar de la Luna is a very fruity extra virgin olive oil with a luxurious mouthfeel. It has an abundance of healthy polyphenols, anti-oxidants, and Vitamin E.

Certified USDA Organic!

CAAE Certification which states that it has met European Regulations for Organic Production.

The Castillo de Canena Estate has produced exceptional extra virgin olive oils in the Guadalquivir Valley of Andalusia in the south of Spain since 1780. The 'Royal' olive varietal is an ancient variety native to Jaén, Andalusia. In the 19th century its low-yields caused many olive oil producers to abandon it as it was not commercially viable. The Royal Olive was on the brink of extinction until Castello de Canena planted it at their estate, thus saving this heirloom olive for future generations to enjoy.

FIRST-EARLY ROYAL is harvested early in the season when the olives reach their peak flavor and aroma.

This is a deep green, medium-bodied, extra virgin olive oil with fresh and intense fruitiness. On the palate it is balanced, round, and shows a smooth entry, with all the flavors in perfect harmony.

The ancient heirloom Royal olive varietal produces one of the rarest extra virgin olive oils in the world. Buy a bottle and experience the extraordinary flavors only Canena's First-Early Royal can achieve.

First-Early Royal is presented in an original black bottle with white xerography.

This is the ninth occasion that the Vañó family has released a special edition "First Day of Harvest" (Primer Día de Cosecha) extra virgin olive oil to capture the very purest flavors of the olive crop. Just ripe olives, pressed within hours of harvest, create this extra virgin olive oil that is exploding with flavor!

Each release is commemorated with a unique bottle label, each designed by a different established name from Spain's creative community. For 2014, Castillo de Canena partnered with fashion designer Roberto Verino. Roberto has created the new label to emphasize the sensory harmony of the First Day of Harvest extra virgin oils with the elegance of a fashion sketch from his latest collection.

Verino, a great defender of quality Spanish gastronomy and design, explains: “I have included a sketch from this season’s collection because I wanted to symbolize the values that unite us—none other than the search for quality, singularity and excellence attained through a job well done, always focusing on enormous respect for the environment and the consumer.”

To this Galician designer, the “First Day of Harvest represents the first sketch you use to start a collection. You are faced with a blank page, and all the former efforts, feelings, and expectations that are coiled up at that moment unfurl into reality.”

Moreover, Verino believes there are more similarities between the elaboration of his collections and the achievement of each First Day of Harvest. “I have no doubt that what the olive farmers feel after a year of effort, sacrifice, expectation, and especially climatic conditions is very similar to what I feel the day I put my signature to my first sketch of the season.”

Castillo de Canena extra virgin olive oils appear in the latest edition of the prestigious Flos Olei Guide, chosen as the best in the world with the highest score, 98 out of 98 points!! This is the SECOND year in a row that they have received this honor.

This extra virgin olive oil is a dense oil with a pale green hue, a balanced and complex personality, fruity green olive flavor identifiable in nostrils and mouth with a great diversity of organic aromas, especially herbs, almonds, and artichokes. To the palate, the sensation is almondy with green apple, banana peel, and a light peppery touch. It has a notable sweetness and lingers long on the palate.

The First Day of Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oils are two very robust oils coming from specially selected plots. These oils have potent personalities, excellent sensory qualities, extraordinary fragrance, harmony, and elegance.

By taking extraordinary steps to hand-harvest early, yielding about half the oil that would be obtained if the olives were left on the trees to mature another week, the Vañó family of Castillo de Canena offers us this rare treat, the best of the best. To have such vibrant, flavorful, First Day of Harvest extra virgin olive oils is an incredible pleasure.

This extra virgin olive oil is an intense green oil with strong punch, fruity and intensely fresh, with herbaceous tones, green almond, and herbes de Provence (thyme and rosemary).

The Castillo de Canena Estate has produced exceptional extra virgin olive oils in the Guadalquivir Valley of Andalusia in the south of Spain since 1780. This exceptional smoked oil is artisanally crafted by slowly infusing their high quality, hand-harvested, Castillo Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil with naturally produced smoke from a mix of organic oak, beech, and birch woods. When you open the bottle you will smell, and taste, exquisitely smoked Arbequina with undertones of caramel, vanilla, and toffee. This unique oil is divine on its own, or you can pair it with your favorite recipes to add a smoky component to your dressings, marinades, and final dishes.

Brush it on bread, or just dip the bread right in.

Drizzle it on:

Vegetables.

Seafood, poultry, and meats.

Soup.

Use it to make a smoky hummus.

Pair it with your favorite vinegar for a smoky, delicious dressing or marinade.

In order to produce this wonderful, exquisite, cutting-edge cold smoked extra virgin olive oil, Castillo de Canena designed a unique process. Their burner allows the wood chips to slowly smolder. The smoke is then cooled, and passed through a water filter. They then slowly, over the course of 6 hours, release the cold smoke into the bottom of the tank which holds the Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This artisanal process naturally imparts the smoky flavor and aroma into the oil.

Produced and bottled by Casina Rossa with olives grown, harvested, and pressed at the Casina Rossa Estate in Italy.

Do not be fooled by other truffle oils that use grape seed, sunflower, safflower, or even "olive oil"... if they went cheap on the oil you know they went cheap on the truffle. Demand "extra virgin olive oil," the best. Plus those other "truffle oils" do NOT have actual pieces of truffle in them, another cost cutting step which gives your truffle oil a chemically taste. So they went cheap on the truffle too.

Only buy truffle oils, like this one, that use extra virgin olive oil and that have actual pieces of REAL TRUFFLE in EVERY bottle. That way you can guarantee you will get the pure truffle flavor you expect, and demand.

A unique oil with a mildly toasted, nutty flavor. It is known as "the golden oil."

The Argan tree is unique to the South Western corner of Morocco and is called the "tree of life" due to the importance of this tree, and its fruit and oil, to Moroccan traditions and culture. This remarkable organic Argan oil is made by cold pressing the seeds inside the nut of the Argan fruit. It takes 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of fruit to produce just 1 liter (33.8 fluid ounces) of oil, meaning it is an extremely labor intensive oil to produce.

Once the fruit ripens, it is harvested and laid out in the sun to dry. The flesh of the fruit is removed, and the hard shell of the nut is cracked to remove the almond shaped kernels inside. These are gently toasted and, once cooled, ground in a stone ‘rotary quern’, similar to a stone pestle and mortar. The resulting nut paste is then massaged by hand to extract the luscious oil.

Rich in Vitamin E and linoleic acids, and with a high unsaturated fatty acid content (over 80%), this unique organic Argan oil is full of health-giving properties. Vitamin E promotes healthy hair, skin, and nails, and the unsaturated fatty acids are great for keeping the heart healthy and lowering cholesterol levels. Initial tests indicate it may reverse the metabolic changes that occur from a high sugar diet, thus being a natural aid in the fight against diabetes; and the high levels of antioxidants show promise in fighting cancer. It is light in color with a reddish tinge and it is milder in flavor than sesame or walnut oil, yet its taste is distinctly nutty. Traditionally used for cooking tagines and dressing couscous, organic Argan oil also adds a unique and wonderful flavor to salads and other North African dishes.

A few serving ideas:

Mix organic Argan oil with honey and yogurt like the Berbers do for a nutritious breakfast.

Make amlou: a mixture of Argan oil, honey, and crushed almonds. It tastes a little like peanut butter and is great on toast.

1/2 pound roasted Marcona Almonds

1/2 to 2/3 cup Belazu Organic Argan Oil

1/3 cup raw honey

In a food processor, or mortar and pestle, finely grind the almonds. Add the Organic Argan Oil a tablespoon at a time. Now add the honey until the desired sweetness is achieved. Serve in a small bowl with slices of pita bread for dipping

This organic Argan oil is suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and is gluten-free.

Rural Moroccans always knew Argan oil was good for you, inside and out. They actually rub their faces with their hands after eating a couscous dressed with Argan oil. In the spirit of that tradition, we can also recommend it for its beauty uses!! Since this oil is organic AND "food grade" it is higher in quality than those other "cosmetic grade" oils on the market today.

This product may not be suitable for nut allergy sufferers.

Packed in France from Moroccan oil.

The Savini family business is world famous for their truffles. Starting in the 1920s, and continuing to this day, the family tradition of handcrafted truffle products has spanned over four generations.

During the harvest, the truffle gatherers collect both large and small truffles. The biggest ones are sold fresh to restaurants, while the smaller ones, with equally impressive flavor, are sliced, and through a very special proprietary method, preserved in olive oil. The flavor is identical to the fresh truffles, with the added benefit that you can keep them unopened in your kitchen for more than a year, and thus can have "fresh truffle flavor" anytime on a moment's notice.

These sliced black truffles are of the highest quality, and the Savini family ensures the origin of each and every truffle. This guarantees both the quality and the freshness. Every jar shows a "best by" date so you know you are getting the freshest truffles available.

Start your day off with a perfectly cooked egg and some sliced black truffles.

Stuff sliced black truffles under the skin of a chicken before roasting.

Add some slices to freshly cooked pasta... amazing!

A few slices on hot seared or grilled scallops is otherworldly.

Mix them into your risotto 15 minutes before it is done to make truffle risotto!

Raro was not made in 2014 due to a poor harvest. While we are sad, this shows the integrity of our producers who say 'we will not make any unless we can make it to the highest standards'. THAT why we do business with them!! We will get the 2015 harvest in late-January 2016.

Antonino Mennella is a passionate young extra virgin olive oil producer from the Salerno area of Campania, Italy. On his small 2,000-tree farm he produces this limited edition Raro ('rare') extra virgin olive oil by removing the pits of the Ravece and Rotondella olives, and then only pressing the remaining fruit. This process is known as "denocciolate".

This pitting before pressing is unique, and it creates an extraordinary extra virgin olive oil unlike any other you will find.

Antonino uses advanced pressing and processing technology to provide a super extra virgin olive oil with double the average content of polyphenol antioxidants, and an astoundingly low level of free oleic acid. As a result, this extra virgin olive oil has almost the same level of freshness as an olive still on the tree.

La Madonna dell’Olivo has optimal levels of vitamin E tocopherols, and Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. This extra virgin olive oil has a remarkably well balanced flavor profile and is thus a ‘double winner’ -- an elixir of good health with amazing flavor.

This is a deep, intensely fruity extra virgin olive oil with irresistible aromas.

"My objective," says Antonino, "is to fight uniformity and exalt differences." Try this Raro Extra Virgin Olive Oil and you will see exactly what he means!
